I'm posting this on behalf of our newest contributor. Here's what he has to say for himself!
"Hey, I'm Scott who shall probably be known henceforth as gallusness. It's my first contribution to IST so thanks go to the chaps for having me. I love the concept (of IST) and hope to contribute with a full months thinking and illustrating in future. This one could've done with more tlc but the standard of Owen & Reeko will keep me on my toes going forward. To explain my solution for Die Alright, I actually looked at one of the lines from the song 'And the way I feel tonight is gonna make me die all right'. I thought (and please excuse the cheese) what could you feel, at night, that would make dying alright? I reckoned how about the urban myth that is falling in your sleep. You know if you hit the ground you'd never actually wake up. I'm guessing most folk have had those occasional dreams where you've woken up by randomly kicking out? But supposing you were comfortable with accepting your fate, could you die alright by seeing through your fall? My take was to capture this as it was happening...
Just wait to see how the other guys answered the title. Looking forward to next month and properly breaking out the pens & pencils as a starting point. Oh and in a shameless plug if anyone else wants to see what else I get up to please swing by www.gallusness.com cheers."

I like it! A good debut!
The texture of the background is nicely produced, and the thought process and concept is exactly the sort of thing we like here on IST.
Is he gonna hit the bottom or will he 'twitch' himself awake in time?! If he does hit the bottom, will it be alright? Why did he wear his shoes to bed? So many questions! ;)
I'm thinking the world doesn't need to see a naked male in free fall (shudders).
That's fair...!
For real. No one needs to see that, ever.
Great illustration, the background and the shadow is particularly excellent... It's an illustration that's just cries out for type or a headline in that top third because of the excellent composition.
Good stuff man!
